Rally for concerned photographers0

Posted In Blog,NoHome,moth studios

Andrew Bulatowicz kindly alerted us to this upcoming event that concerns all photographers in Australia who shoot in the public arena, be it street, studio or anywhere else.

If you remember the furor that surrounded Bill Henson’s exhibition in 2008 then you will have an idea what this rally is about…

The rally has been organised by Ken Duncan for 10.00am on Sunday August 29th at Campbells Cove to raise awareness about the eroding rights of photographers in Australia.

14 April 2010 PHOTOGRAPHERS TO PROTEST ATTACKS ON FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Australian photographers are losing their rights to freedom of expression. And it doesn‟t matter whether they are full-time professional, part-time or strictly amateur, as every person who has a camera can be threatened with unjust laws and regulations.

“We must be the only country in the world where you could get a criminal record for taking a picture of a rock,” said Ken Duncan, the Chairman of Arts Freedom Australia.

“And because of this shameful situation, I am asking photographers and other concerned citizens to protest against the undemocratic regulations which now restrict film-making and photography in many of our public places,” Mr Duncan added. [..]

More Legal Woes for Annie Leibovitz0

Posted In Blog,NoHome,moth studios

By RANDY KENNEDY

The photographer Annie Leibovitz, whose protracted legal troubles had seemed to be behind her, is back in court.

Brunswick Capital Partners has filed a suit against her in New York State Supreme Court, saying that she owes the firm several hundred thousand dollars in fees for its recent role in locating investors who have helped her restructure her debt, Reuters reported.

Ms. Leibovitz fell into financial trouble, according to friends, after years of incautious spending and expensive home renovations. Last month she reached an agreement with Colony Capital, a Los Angeles firm, under which it became her only creditor and agreed to help her concentrate on her career and earnings.

She averted a foreclosure last summer after she missed a deadline to repay $24 million in loans she owed to Art Capital Group, a lender that used the rights to her photographs and her real estate as collateral.

In the new lawsuit, Brunswick Capital says that Ms. Leibovitz has failed to pay fees for its services and a 2 percent commission on the $40 million loan that Colony made to consolidate her debt. Representatives for Ms. Leibovitz and Colony Capital declined to comment, saying that they had not had a chance to review the suit. But a person with knowledge of Ms. Leibowitz’s agreement with Colony, who spoke on the condition on anonymity because she was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, said that officials at Colony had never heard of Brunswick before becoming aware of the lawsuit.
